While some Tengagers beg for moderators now, they probably don't realise what an embarrassing mess the site was in the past. Rando would constantly appoint new mods, most of which ended up being power hungry, attention seeking hall monitors who couldn't do their job fairly. Here are 10 of the most criticised, hated, and overall worst mods in the game.
9. Ghoul
Sean always seemed pretty level headed and stayed outta drama, but according to his mod partner amartin there was a more sinister side to this ghastly ghoul!

8. je7467
Big Je became a mod by the tried and tested method of incessantly licking randomize's ass. Not sure how much he took part in all the bans going on since he mostly just blogged about being a mod for attention, but I have suspicions he was the goof who banned me for a joke about circumcision https://tengaged.com/blog/BengalBoy/1310660/good-g-d-clean-album-version . He soon left his post to focus on his budget Tengaged rip-off, Scoderk.

7. brandonpinzu and JustMe
This duo gets some props for trying to undo Johneh's damage and eliminate some of the dumb rules towards the end of moderation, but during their reign there were a lot of blatantly biased bans such as instant punishments for anyone who was mean to ShayyBayy or Kentuckyy. Not to mention this inappropriate mail Brandon sent me! http://i.imgur.com/hoDak5i.png

6. NoelSarah and Jubbzy
While these two were in power there were all kinds of dumb harassment bans, bans for putting rap songs on your profile, bans for saying " slice" (seriously), people banned for cheating on Noel's OT without proof, and a few stupid and inexplicable perm bans. Noel also managed to get the entire moderation panel hacked by falling for a phishing link. As nice as they were, it wasn't exactly a shining example of moderation.

5. DiNoM
This fella drummed up a lot of hate in his tenure as an anonymous moderator, culminating in Aquamarine furiously trying to track him down via his IP address. Personally I didn't see him do too much except using the Tengaged_Moderation account to flirt with Mikey_Elite and argue with Tengagers, but I was also pretty inactive at the time.
"His outstretched anus will remain etched in my memory forever." - blogs
4. amartin
People always insist that "nice" users like Yoshitomi should be mods, but amartin proved otherwise. Every week without fail she'd make a breakdown blog lashing out at the entire Tengaged public calling them ungrateful shits for not blindly agreeing with the abundance of stupid and unfair bans. To be fair she was being e-stalked by angry Tengagers, but it seems she enjoyed the attention just a little too much to step down sooner. Super nice girl, dogshit moderator.
"amartin? We'd be better off with Steve Martin!" - WpwSers196
3. Johneh
Despite claiming to have no powers, this cheeky lil fella would constantly be hopping on to the mod panel to get revenge on anyone he didn't like then letting Sue and Pinzu take the blame. After getting the entire mod team demoted, Johneh retired to pursue his career as a drag queen, but you'll still see him pop in once every few months to make a blog saying "remember when people thought I was a mod ;p haha".
"A jumped up pantry boy who never knew his place." - koolness234
2. @BioDork
One of the top mods in the era of dumb bans. Eric really earned his spot by having a meltdown one day and banning the entire site as some kind of wacky protest against himself. A few hours later, randomize unbanned everyone and Big Bad Bio retired to ORG games.
"I can still hear the screams of those banned accounts to this very day. Never forget." - MikeRORO
1. Genevere
When she wasn't sexting with multiple underage boys or whipping her tits out to The Lads, you'd usually find Ginny arguing with people like Sebbers or perm banning people for no reason purely out of pettiness (rip #surstromming). These blog comments do a pretty good job of explaining what a mess moderation was back then https://tengaged.com/blog/Tengaged_Moderation/259504/we-have-answer . Well deserving of the title Worst Mod of All Time, proud of you Ginny.
So before you go making change.org petitions asking for 10 new mods, just think of the times we couldn't go a day without someone being banned for something they blogged 2 years earlier and we had snitches like this running around http://i.imgur.com/sUonkko.png . I'd rather just have randomize perm the multi users and call it a day.

Sadly I had to deal with all of them although I can't say anything bad about Jubbzy or Noel personally since when acting as the T-Lawyer for those unfairly banned Noel was always willing to hear my case and more often than not would overturn the bullshit ban someone else would have done...
when people make blogs about wanting a certain person to be a moderator and that person is the biggest rule breaker and dick bag on tg? I laugh my ass off. Rando does not care.
BengalBoy whilst I agree that this kind of post attracts the most attention, I would've much rather seen a list of the top 10 best mods & who you'd think would be a good mod in todays age...unless you could do those next, then good job :p
This list is the complete truth. TMod chased the best users away because the mods in the past got fucking greedy with pride and sat on skype calls with their troll groups and used their "powers" to gain friends and favor to help them level up
and @Jonneh saying he was never a mod is retarded billshit. He fucking bragged about it and created R2B and other events of the sort.
Part of me kinda liked the vigilant moderation. It made everything feel more structured and as though this site was being taken care of to some extent.
